TO get a PEAR::SOAP 8.0 RC1 server to return a DIME attachment to visual basic 6 using the MSSOAP 3.0 first off you need to copy the funtion function _decodeDIMEMessage from Base.php to the HTTP.php You need to edit the SOAP library file Value.php edit the function SOAP_Attachment $this->attributes['href'] = 'cid:'.$cid; and replace with $this->attributes['href'] = ''.$cid; For some reason the MSSOAP implementation has a problem with "cid:"; in the returned href. I assume that this will break any other implementation of soap from working , but hey, it's micros**t trying to do their own thing again. Here is my code for the VB client: It uses lowlevel access, so no wsdl file required (I think) '--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dim Serializer As SoapSerializer30 Dim Reader As SoapReader30 Dim ResultElm As IXMLDOMElement Dim FaultElm As IXMLDOMElement Dim Connector As SoapConnector30 Dim Composer As DimeComposer30 Dim Parser As DimeParser30 Set Connector = New HttpConnector30 Set Serializer = New SoapSerializer30 Set Composer = New DimeComposer30 Set Reader = New SoapReader30 Set Parser = New DimeParser30 Connector.Property("EndPointURL") = "http://myserver.com:8080/soap/init_server.php?wsdl"; Connector.Property("SoapAction") = "urn:init_Server#Example_server#echoMimeAttachment" Connector.Connect Connector.BeginMessage Set Composer = CreateObject("MSSOAP.DimeComposer30") Serializer.InitWithComposer Connector.InputStream, Composer Serializer.StartEnvelope Serializer.StartBody Serializer.StartElement "echoMimeAttachment", "urn:init_Server" Serializer.StartElement "inputStruct", CALC_NS Serializer.WriteString "FromServer" Serializer.EndElement Serializer.EndElement Serializer.EndBody Serializer.EndEnvelope Serializer.Finished res = Reader.LoadWithParser(Connector.OutputStream, Parser) Execute = Reader.RpcResult.Text Set Node = Reader.RpcParameter("return") Set Attachment = Reader.GetReferencedAttachment(Node) FileName = "c:\FromServer.blob" Attachment.SaveToFile FileName, "True" '--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- The php server was just a simple. function echoMimeAttachment($stuff) { return new SOAP_Attachment('return',"application/octet-stream","/path/to/file.blob"); } I think that was it.
